MODULAR PROCESS - how we build your tiny home

Our modular construction process delivers the same bespoke, high-quality build we’re known for, with a streamlined approach that saves time and provides confidence at every stage.

YOUR MODULAR JOURNEY

Caves Road Modular offers a considered, site-specific approach to modular construction that goes beyond the build itself.

Designed and built locally in the South West of WA, our homes can be transported to any approved location, reflect regional knowledge, proven construction standards and an understanding of approvals and site conditions.

By guiding the full process – from design through to delivery – we reduce complexity, improve efficiency and deliver bespoke modular homes that are practical, crafted with precision and built for longevity.

WEEK 1

Discovery & Site Check

An in-person or virtual meeting to discuss your chosen Modular from our range. We talk through how you’ll use it, your budget, and your timeline. We also review your site access, services, bushfire requirements (BAL), and any planning constraints.

WEEK 2

Design & Feasibility

We confirm the best modular layout for your needs and block, including orientation, energy efficiency, floor plan options, and how the home will be transported and installed. We will start to discuss interior & exterior palette choices.

WEEK 3

Preliminary Pricing & Scope Review

You receive a clear scope of works and a detailed estimate so you can make confident decisions early. We then move into approvals and production.

WEEK 4

Documentation & Engineering

We complete site-specific engineering and construction documentation (BAL, Geo-Technical and Feature Survey are performed and submitted). Plans confirming location of proposed Modular Home on site. Working drawings and engineering drawn up (if required) and finalise selections and specifications.

WEEK 4

Permits & Approvals

We support (or manage) planning/building approvals with the relevant shire/certifier, ensuring documents meet local requirements. Energy efficiency report completed.

WEEK 4-6

Finance & Project Scheduling

If needed, we can help you understand staged modular payments and connect you with finance support via our dedicated broker team. We then lock in key dates for factory build, transport, and installation.

WEEK 12-18

Construction Begins

Your home is built in our controlled factory environment. This improves quality control and reduces delays due to weather, while keeping you updated at key milestones

WEEK 14-15

Site Works

While the module is being built, your site is prepared. This means earthworks, footings, stumps, slab, drainage, and service connections (power, water, wastewater) depending on your scope. This is usually starts about one month before your modular home is built.

WEEK 19

Transport & Delivery

We coordinate transport, route planning, access requirements, and equipment scheduling so delivery day runs smoothly and safely.

WEEK 19-20

Installation & Connections

The module is moved into place and secured to the footing system. We then complete structural tie-downs and final connections (plumbing/electrical), internal and external finishing, and any items that must be completed on-site (decks, stairs, join lines, landscaping, etc.).

WEEK 20

Completion & Handover

We do a final walk-through, quality checks, and provide handover documentation. Any minor items are actioned promptly so you can move in with confidence.

"Our experience with Caves Road Constructions has been exceptional. From our very first meeting through to seeing our modular home placed on our land, Ben made the entire process feel calm and stress-free... Ben and his wonderful team, along with every trade who worked on site, were professional, respectful and efficient... The finished home has exceeded every expectation... Their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship are evident in every aspect of the build. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and would wholeheartedly recommend Ben and the team at Caves Road Constructions to anyone considering building a modular home. If you’re looking for a seamless, enjoyable building experience with a builder who genuinely cares, you’re in the best hands."

“Ben Lawrie is ever conscious of the stresses that people are under during a build. His ability to keep everyone level headed, informed at all times and prepared for what is to follow helps to reduce the problems that may occur. With each inspection Ben was fastidious, picking up on the smallest of issues with the quality of the build along the way and having them rectified.”
